Captain Alex kicked off his season with John Purdy,ย John Van Diver, Mike Pickelsimer and Dale McElroy reporting eleven sweet Dorados on ice.
The Harvester has been itching for action, and found what they were looking for as these monsters topped out at 60lbs.
They caught so many that Captain Alex chose to release this big one so as not to hurt the fish stock.
Great work by Captain Alex and the Harvester!
The Discoverer got the season rolling on November 5th with Andrew Walter and his family scoring big Dorados on a morning half day.
They boated seven total Dorados in just five hours on the water.
This is a great sign for the 2019 season for the big battleship.
Jacksonville firefighter Brian Stafford brought a big group of fun-loving North Florida anglers for a great week of action in late October.
Big Dorados and big smiles were the order of the day.
Great start to the season for the mighty flagship Wanderer!
Our rainy season fishing campaign concluded with a trio of trips in early October with angler Troy Davis enlisting the Explorer for blue water action.
Several Sailfish releases were backed up with a literal boat load of medium-sized Dorados.
Mr. Smith and his crew got out of town just in time to avoid some historic flooding. Some areas of Nosara endured 30 feet of flooding.
The flooding in Nosara has been challenging, but the Ticos are working together and helping each other out.
Here is the 23-foot Adventurer with Capitan Alex, Antonio, and NPR staff Jeni and others getting some local kids to high ground.
The waters have since receded and things are getting back to normal.
The Discoverer continues to soldier on during the month of September. On the 19th, the big battleship scored Dorados and Yellowfin Tuna.
Great work by Captain Carlos and the unstoppable Discoverer!
Jeroen Nelis specifically wanted to target Sailfish, and although we can only take what the ocean gives us, on September 18 the ocean was in a giving mood and provided this angler with an excellent Sailfish release.
This great trophy release was backed up by some nice Dorados for the dinner table.
Great work by Captain Fico and the Explorer!
Our friend Alicia Blackledge returned to Nosara for the second year in a row to enjoy some blue water fishing during the so-called “off season”.
Captain Fico delivered the goods with big Dorados and Yellowfin Tunas.
Geaux Team Blackledge!
On August 28th the Discoverer found a great way to sweep the decks:
This monster was one of two Dorados caught during this trip, which also featured a nice Sailfish release.
Great work by Captain Carlos on the big battleship!
The Discoverer welcome angler Rene Schaub for a full day of blue water action on August 27. A pair of Sailfish releases were the highlights of the morning:
In the afternoon session they discovered a nice array of Dorados for the dinner table:
Nice job by Captain Carlos and the big battleship.
Billy Starnes had a big day on August 26 with Captain Carlos reporting multiple Sailfish releases backed up with a boatload of filets.
The billfish releases are truely memorable, however the bellies were filled by these big Yellowfin Tunas…and that massive Dorado on the deck.
Great work by the Discoverer!
